Hello lovely readers of Carlea Jane! I’m
baaaaack! I know I promised the first Thursday of every month but…well…ok I
have no good excuse. Life has been busy busy – that’s for sure! I hope you all
caught my last guest post. If not I’ll hold on while you go back and check it
out…………………………..
Ok – welcome back! This week we are going
to discuss some Target secrets.
Secret #1 : Their Markdown Schedule
Monday – Electronics, Kid’s clothing and
stationary (Cards, Gift Wrap, Etc.)
Tuesday – Domestics, Women’s clothing,
Pets and Market (food items)
Wednesday – Men’s clothing, Toys (also
Thursday), Health and Beauty and Lawn and Garden items
Thursday – Housewares, Lingerie, Shoes,
Toys, Sporting Goods, Movies, Music, Books and Décor and Luggage
Friday – Auto, Cosmetics, Hardware and
Jewelry
Always know their markdown schedule when
making your daily trip to Target. Personally I don’t even bother looking at
most of their full priced items. I know they’ll go on clearance and I’ll lust
after them then. Why pay full price when 70% off is just around the corner!? If
an item that I’ve been absolutely dying for is popular I might nab it up when
it hits 50% off because chances of them still having my size left when it hits
the 70% off rack are pretty slim. I almost never buy 30% off items because
that’s hardly a discount in my book and I know the item will get cheaper soon.
Secret #2 : How low will it go?
Regular stock items typically only reach
a 70% off discount. Online only items are like gold in the clearance section,
often reaching prices as low as $2.46 for a clothing item! Yes – you did read
that correctly. Under $3!! Holiday items are a different story, though, and
these items typically reach 90% off. That’s practically free!! Although
sometimes it is hard to wait, stocking up on holiday décor after the holiday is
a smart decision & your bank account will thank you. It’s also smart to
stock up on gifts for people throughout the year as things they may like go on
sale. That also means less work for you come Christmas time!
Also, when shopping Target don’t rule out
that dollar section near the entrance. I always find great trendy office items
such as post its, white boards, pens, etc. They also have seasonal items in
that section such as trendy and/or themed BBQ accessories. And of course you’ll
also find fun kids toys and misc. items as well.
Next time you’re at your local Target
don’t forget to scour those clearance racks!
Check back the first Thursday of July for
my next post and stop by my blog, Thrifty Little Pretties,
